Piero Taramasso, Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager: Phillip Island has a special significance for all involved with Michelin, as it is the one race of the season where we have the title sponsorship, so it feels very much like ‘our’ race and with the whole Asian-Pacific market being so important to Michelin, it gives the event an added meaning. The track is one of the most challenging throughout the year, it puts stresses on the tyres that we do not see anywhere else. Our tyres need to contend with high lap-times, a very asymmetric layout and some extremely fast corners, so they need to perform at all those levels, as well as having the ability to warm-up quickly, because it can be very cool there, as we have seen in recent seasons. This is a circuit we are always very respectful of and one that we don’t take lightly, that is why we have a tyre that is particular to Phillip Island, it is important for us to perform to the best of our ability at the Michelin® Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and we will certainly be doing that - and although last year’s race was extremely exciting, we will be trying to make it even better!
3 Up to 4 C-specification tyres (*) Riders who participate in both Q1 and Q2 qualifying sessions (maximum 2 riders) will be allocated one extra front tyre of their preferred specification after Q2 (therefore, if taken, a maximum of 6 of that specification) and one extra rear slick tyre of specification A (highest grip level) after Q2 (therefore, if taken, a maximum of 7 of specification A).

Automatic tyre type detectors Collaboration between Michelin and the MotoGP™ constructors led to the introduction in 2017 of a system designed to detect the types of tyre each rider is running in order to provide this information to the other riders, teams and TV broadcasters. The system uses wireless technology to transmit this information from the bike’s transponder to the timing system.
